Odor was 4-for-5 for the Rangers, who have won four of their last six, He got his fourth hit off Tigers infielder Danny Worth, who pitched the ninth inning for the second time this week.

Worth, throwing knuckleballs, gave up a run on back-to-back doubles by Odor and Michael Choice after pitching a scoreless ninth against the Rangers in the opener of the four-game series on Thursday.
